...more than 2 million volumes, and a fourth compilation of the daily newspaper comic will appear in the spring. Three other cat books also grace the list, including 101 Uses for a Dead Cat (on the list for 27 weeks); together they account for an additional 1.2 million kitty-cartoon albums...
...suckling, warmth, mother's milk and childhood learning play. While the adult feline is obsessed with reproduction, territorial battles and mousing, we remain large toys and surrogate mothers who possess such miracles as wall can openers, crinkly cellophane and electric blankets. Nor do cats, like Kliban's cartoon meat-loaves, respond with interest to human grownup preoccupations. They pay no mind to politics, opera, opinion polls, fuel-stingy autos or nuclear proliferation. They remain unimpressed by est, Kiwanis, cocaine and PBS. Felines yawn equally at the reputations of Mick Jagger and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Cats operate...

If artistic director Tom Bloom knows how bad two-thirds of these plays are but decided he needed...
...Soviets cut back. Team Moscow will haul out the old launchers-versus-warheads stall offense, arguing that parity already exists and that Washington is the culprit behind continuing NATO-Warsaw Pact tension. Grandstand experts will keep track of SS-20s and Pershing 2s: Time magazine will run charts showing cartoon missilemen arm wrestling or playing hop-scotch--one wearing Uncle Sam's top hat, the other a Cossack's headgear...
